On the international front, Gago has represented France 14 times, netting three goals in the process.
Upon her arrival at West Ham, Gago expressed enthusiasm, stating, “I’m very happy to be joining West Ham United. The family-feel of the Club really appealed to me, and I’m excited to join that family.” She added, “I’m going to give everything in order to help the team reach our ambitions, and I’m really looking forward to getting started in Claret and Blue.”
With this move, Gago becomes West Ham United’s ninth signing of the summer transfer window.
